In Summary
More jobs will be created if we enable our
MSMEs to grow through use of ICT
We need to direct some of the MSME funds and
venture capital funds to fund MSME acquisition
of sustainable ICT
We need to enable our tertiary schools produce
ICT job ready graduates
We need to partner with companies like CWG.
